I've just had this email through, what are people's thoughts? It appears to be from this competition: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5574316&highlight=philippines

    I've ticked the comp in the link in my post so I think so!
    I so hope I've actually won, my partner was made redundant this week so we didn't think we'd be able to afford a holiday for another few years yet :D

    I posted that competition and to me it sounds like you have won. The terms did say you had to be a resident of the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Island or Isle of Man.

    They have had similar competitions before. I found their summer comp just after it ended. They have posted the past winners on twitter probably Facebook too. Congratulations!:T
